The exclusive Australian broadcaster for this Test series is Fox Sports and play starts on its Fox Sports Cricket channel (Foxtel 501) at 10am AEST (local Brisbane time; 11am AEDT) each day from Friday, January 15 to Tuesday, January 19.

Alongside Fox, your other option is to sign up for the fast-emerging Kayo Sports streaming service, which features no lock-in contracts and gives you access to over 50 other sports including the F1, NRL, FA Cup football... the list goes on! Handy if you don't want to go all out on Fox.

Kayo Sports Basic Package costs $25 per month and allows users to stream across two devices simultaneously. Alternatively, the service also offers a Kayo Sports Premium Package, which provides three concurrent streams for $35 per month.

For those wanting to watch home coverage of sports from overseas, a VPN is usually the solution - and our latest January 2021 testing has current No. 1 pick ExpressVPN working brilliantly with the service.

In India, Sony Pictures Networks (SPN) has exclusive broadcast rights to the Men In Blue's Test endeavours Down Under. 

The 4th Test between Australia vs India starts at 5.30am IST in India on Friday, January 15 and coverage will be split across its Sony Ten 1 (and HD) and Sony Ten 3 (and HD) linear channels, with play opening at similar times every day.

Coverage will also be available in full via Sony's over-the-top streaming service, SonyLIV, which is where to go if you want to watch premium cricket action without signing up for a lengthy contract.

Anyone wanting to watch their subscription coverage overseas can easily do so, too - you just need to go down the VPN route as above.

While Sky Sports is arguably the main provider of cricket coverage in the UK, BT Sport has exclusive rights to India's tour of Australia.

BT Sport is available to both BT TV customers (from £10 a month on contract), and can be added on by Sky, Virgin Media and TalkTalk subscribers as well.

Because of time difference, BT's coverage of the 4th and final Test starts late on Thursday, January 14 with the first ball expected to be bowled at around 12am (midnight) and play rolling into the early hours of the morning each day. Similar times are scheduled for all five days, but check your local TV listings if you want to be sure, as sport looks like it's still going to subject a fair few changes in 2021!

If you don't want to be locked into a lengthy (and, when all's said and done) pricey contract, BT Sport also now offers the option of a Monthly Pass.

Plus, if you choose to snap up a VPN as described above, it means you'll be able to watch your preferred UK coverage from anywhere in the world.

Sky generally enjoys the rights to live cricket coverage in NZ and this series is no different, with the country's version of Sky Sports airing Australia vs India.

The first balls of the each day's Australia vs India Test action are scheduled to be bowled at around 1pm NZDT from Friday, January 15 January 7 to Tuesday, January 19.

When it does show the action, there's the Sky Go app available for on-the-go viewing - and anyone currently overseas can always utilise the VPN route outlined earlier.

Dedicated cricket streaming service Willow TV is where you'll need to head if you want to watch this Test series live in the US. 

Play will start at 7pm ET/4pm PT from Thursday, January 14, with similar timing in store for other days of play - the final day being scheduled to start on Monday, January 18.

Willow TV (also available in Canada), is available from a number of cable providers including Dish, Spectrum, Xfinity, Verizon Fios and more. 

Customers that subscribe to Willow TV will be able to use their cable provider’s login and password on willow.tv to stream Australia vs India cricket right from their computer.

Alternatively, Willow TV also has apps for Android and iOS if your prefer to watch matches on the go. And can be added to cord-cutting TV streaming services such as Sling TV.
